A U.S. defense official says nearly 900 U.S. strikes were launched in the first 12 hours, from land, air and sea, including drones, while forces defended against hundreds of incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.
Iran fired about 300 missiles today and is believed to have 4000 total, split between long and short range systems, rebuilt since last summer.
In Bahrain, Iran hit an empty warehouse and a radar dome at the 5th Fleet HQ, but officials say operations were not affected due to redundancies.
The stated goal is to strip Iran of its ability to attack neighbors, eliminating drones, missiles and naval capabilities. U.S. officials say they know the location of Iran’s highly enriched uranium, though it is difficult to access.
The operation is expected to last a couple of weeks, though the President could scale back sooner. Some Iranian air defenses remain and may take days to suppress. - Fox news

Yup
80% of Iran's oil goes to China.
15% of Chinese oil consumption is Iran's exports.
This will bite

Where does China turn next?
• Russia (already maxed out supplying China)
• Middle East OPEC nations (who are US-aligned)
• They're running out of "sanctioned oil" friends fast
The investment angle nobody is talking about:
• US refiners $VLO $PSX suddenly getting premium Venezuelan crude
• $XOM $CVX benefit as global oil supply tightens
• China's manufacturing costs go UP = their export advantage shrinks
BONUS: A China scrambling for oil is a China forced to make deals ??
This is leverage. And it changes the entire trade war negotiation dynamic.
Watch oil. Watch China. This is bigger than most realize.

We destroy the chessboard and have the ability to make our enemies look internally to decide if they can sustain. It’s will-crushing might at this point. Pretty impressive stuff.

Then let’s bomb every resource rich country on the planet. Since it is as simple as doing whatever benefits America.
Money. Always about money. At least we are being honest with ourselves now.

I doubt that. Not saying it didn’t happen, but I bet they were BVR

The UN is set to meet in 15 minutes to, presumably, condemn the attacks on Iran.
If they condemn us our UN ambassador should tell them we are withdrawing from the UN and cancelling the lease on their building. They have 30 days to get out of the US
The UN is completely worthless

US official confirms to Fox that US believes Khamenei and 5-10 top Iranian leaders killed in initial Israeli strike on compound; agree with Israel’s intelligence assessment.
A senior US defense official tells me that the US government agrees with the Israeli assessment that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, along with 5-10 other top Iranian leaders who were all meeting at a compound in Tehran Saturday morning. The top IRGC commander also killed.
Multiple sources tell me that the timeline for the strike had to be moved up based on intelligence and this “target of opportunity.”
“There was a deliberate decision to accelerate the timeline,” officials told Fox.
That is why the US and Israel took the unusual decision to strike during the daytime to achieve the element of surprise and to target this meeting. Normally the US military would not launch an operation like this during the day. The meeting accelerated the timeline.
“This was a massive, wildly bold daytime attack,” a senior US defense official told me.
“It caught the senior leadership off guard, a Saturday morning during Ramadan and on Shabbat in the daytime.”
“We hit the senior leaders right out of the gate.” (Israel conducted the targeted strike).

Russia up now. Everyone before has strongly condemned Iran.
Russia also condemning Iran for continuing to escalate the situation.
